Additional tables were added that show Joinpoint regression line analysis results when up to 4 Joinpoints are allowed. The graphs that show Joinpoint trends lines were
updated to be based on Joinpoint analyses with a maximum of 4 Joinpoints. The Joinpoint analyses previously used in the CSR allowed a maximum of 3 Joinpoints.
